BGC Canada National Youth Forum

National Youth Forum

The National Youth Forum is a week-long initiative that is held in partnership with the BGC Canada National Youth Council, BGC Canada staff and participating BGC Clubs. The forum brings together youth involved in their respective Clubs and communities to build leadership skills, meet new people, develop abilities, and feel that they are part of a larger pan-Canadian organization and the BGC movement (rather than simply an individual Club).

The Forum is held at locations across the Country on a bi-annual basis. The National Youth Forum delegates participate in workshops and activities emphasizing team building, social engagement, community development, youth leadership, and recreation.

BGC Canada acknowledges that our work spans many Territories and Treaty areas and we are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are with us today, those who have gone before us and the youth that continuously inspire us in the work that we do. BGC Canada’s mission statement is to provide safe, supportive places where children and youth can experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positive relationships, and develop confidence and skills for life. We recognize that these values are impossible to attain without the ongoing guidance and partnership with Indigenous peoples.
